I'm most proud of the smooth animations I created using Framer Motion that enhance the user experience without overwhelming the interface. The staggered entrance animations, particularly in the Footer section, create a natural flow that guides users through the content. I'm also pleased with how I implemented responsive design, adapting the layout seamlessly from mobile to desktop while maintaining visual harmony across breakpoints.
The typewriter effect in the hero section adds a dynamic element that draws attention to the key value proposition, and the step indicators with their growing vertical lines and pulsing effects create visual interest that helps users track their progress through the page.
For next time, I would approach the animation planning more systematically from the beginning. While I'm happy with the final result, I ended up using a mix of animate and whileInView properties that could be more consistent. I would also implement a more structured animation system with reusable variants to maintain better code organization.
Additionally, I would explore more performance optimizations, particularly for mobile devices. Some of the animations could be lighter weight for better performance on lower-end devices. I'd also consider implementing more interactive elements that respond to user actions beyond simple hover states to create an even more engaging experience.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?One of the most significant challenges I encountered was implementing the hero section's responsive image strategy. On mobile, I needed to display a single centered image, while on desktop, the design required two separate images positioned on either side of the content.
I solved this by using the <picture> element combined with Framer Motion animations. This approach allowed me to seamlessly switch between the single tablet image and the split desktop layout without loading unnecessary resources:
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?First, I'm looking for advice on the best approach for creating the hero image overflow effect. Currently, I'm using scaling techniques with scale-140 and negative translate classes to make the images appear to extend beyond the container
Second, I'm concerned about potentially overusing animations. I've implemented various effects including:
Fade-in and slide animations for content sections Parallax scrolling for hero images Growing vertical lines for step indicators Pulsing effects on numbered circles Staggered reveals for footer content Typewriter effect for hero heading Have I crossed the line into animation overload? I'm particularly interested in feedback on whether the parallax scrolling effect adds value or if it might be distracting to users. I'd also welcome input on which animations provide the most meaningful enhancement to the user experience versus those that could be simplified or removed to improve performance and focus.
